Windows 7 Home Premuim System Restore and System Protection not working.

I have windows 7 home premuim 64 bit I went to create restore point on my new dell and after about an 1/2 hour of waiting for SR to open up I got this:

You have no Restore Points. Use System Protection to create restore point.

When I attempt to turn on System Protection, it doesn't show any drives available when it opens -- it just says that it's searching for available drives and it keeps searching and doesn't stop. Eventually, I'll receive the following Error Message:
"There was an unexpected error in the property page: SystemRestore encounter an error. Please try to run SystemRestore again (0x81000203)." also all button are greyed out. I wanted take an image to show you but that's not working either. Is there hope?

Follow the below instructions Carefully:
1. Download HiJackThis from the link in my signature
2. Run a Scan.
3. Save a Logfile(On your Desktop)
4. DO NOT FIX ANYTHING BY YOURSELF.
(Fixing Anything Might cause Unwanted System Instability,BSOD's and Even Render your System Unusable)
5.Copy and Paste all the contents
6. Paste them in the reply Window

Hello Antech, Thank you so much! Whewwww! I am very much the beginner. It was a bit harry but I got it done. I hope you can find the problem in that magical world of numbers and symbols. Again, thank you for your help.

Thanks Antech, good to know the log is clean. Yes I'm the administrator. Running a full scan with SAS and Malwarebytes? Do I run SAS first? Then the other? Do you want me to sent you the results? Are you still helping me? I read the through the other link you sent. Should I even try? It didn't work for that person. Please let me know. Thank you for all of you time.

Found a lot of Infections on your Machine.....
Do not uninstall them as they will be of use when you encountered another problem or infection.
They are very small programs but very effective though.
I will suggest you to go with Avira Free or Paid(as you wish) as McAfee failed in previous years detection tests.

Try the suggesion on the site I recommended:
You can try go to Command Prompt and Run sfc /scannow

Start > cmd > Right click cmd and Run as administrator then try sfc /scannow
It will help in repairing corrupt system files.

Also try running (from the same cmd mentioned above)
"chkdsk /r".
This will be somewhat effective in helping you.
Next suggestion in Next Reply(This box seems to be crowded for me)

Can you open the Property Page now???
It should see like this.
If the problem persists,
Follow these steps.
1. Press the "Windows Logo Key + R" combination
2. The "Run" box will appear.
3. Type "services.msc" in that box without the quotes
4. This will open a box as seen in the screenshot 2 attached.
5. Find the "Microsoft Software Shadow Copy Provider" service in that box.
(should be somewhere down below)
6. Double Click on that.
(A page will appear as in screenshot 3)
7. Set it to Automatic and then click apply.
8. Try creating a restore point now.

Sysres=Screen1
Services=Screen2
Services1=Screen3

Open these Screenshots in new tabs

Antech, I don't understand what any of this means? is ? What site? Avira? What is Command Prompt?
Please clarify so sorry. I'm learning.

Antech, please disregard my earlier confusion. I now understand what you meant me to do. I'm going to try it now. I guess I should have waited to write you until after I had tried the Command Prompt fix.
